Posted: 9/27/2019 (Employment)
The Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies (HCPDS) is currently accepting applications for two postdoctoral fellowship programs: The Sloan Fellowship on Aging and Work and the David E. Bell Fellowship. The deadline to apply is Monday, December 2, 2019.
Sloan Fellowship on Aging and Work
The Sloan Fellowship is an interdisciplinary, postdoctoral training program that seeks to address the challenges of aging societies and labor force participation in the U.S. Fellows conduct self-directed research under the guidance of Harvard faculty mentors. Expectations are that the research derived from the fellowship will be used to support improved workplace policies at various institutions as well as increase the public’s understanding of aging and labor force challenges. In addition to research and writing, fellows participate in seminars, leadership skill building, and communications & media skills training.
The David E. Bell Postdoctoral Fellowship
The Bell Fellowship is an interdisciplinary, postdoctoral training program designed for researchers and practitioners in the fields of population sciences and/or population health. Through self-directed research, selected candidates examine a broad range of critical issues, most from within the HCPDS’s focal areas: 1) social and environmental determinants of population health; 2) aging societies; 3) workplace & well-being; and 4) social/family demography. In addition to research and writing, fellows participate in weekly seminars, leadership skill building seminars, and communications & media skills training.
For both fellowship programs, the salary is $65K/yr plus benefits and a generous research, travel, and relocation fund. Both are open to U.S. and international candidates.
